Why choose to be coached?
- organisational change is happening quickly throughout the entire sector
- mission statements, performance indicators, strategic plans require response
- it is all too easy to get caught up in ticking the boxes and lose a sense of the personal integrity, purpose and vision which drew you to this work in the first place
- for work to be fulfilling there needs to be an alignment between organisational and personal values
- to be an inspiring leader you need to be inspired
- to have a fully engaged team you need to be fully engaged and to be able to articulate that enthusiasm, commitment and energy to others
- coaching gives you the time for reflective thought so that you can continue to access your own sources of inspiration and have a strong clarity of purpose
- it enables you to prioritise time and energy in a way which supports you, your team and the organisation
- being coached gives you tools which you can use during both formal and informal supervision of others and enables you to be marker, a plumbline for integrity within your organisation ~ all of which are positive results
Length of sessions: this is negotiable but usually in 2 hour blocks
Expected outcomes by the end of a series of sessions: the coachee
- will have increased clarity of purpose
- will have retouched their profound vision and hopes for life
- will be able to fulfil their aspirations for excellence
- will be able to notice unchallenged assumptions, both personally and within the organisation
- will understand their automatic behaviour in a range of situations
- will have the tools to choose to change those reactions
- will be able to identify their leadership style and its strengths
- will be able to see their blind spots and use data based feedback
- will be able keep a balance of work and life priorities
- will have looked at taking on supportive disciplines
- will have examined levels of organisational support
- will understand sourcing and resourcing
- will be a transformative person within the organisation
- will be a higher ground leader with a clear servant leadership model
Each session will be written up and a copy given to the coachee. Phone support will be available between sessions. Confidentiality is central to the process but will not be guaranteed if the coachee is in breach of the law. Job descriptions and pertinent policies are often asked for in order to further the context of the sessions.
